Supernatural Season Five in Review

I have mixed feelings about this season. It had easily the best episodes ever from the show, and some of the worst...cough, cough, Paris Hilton...gag.
So now that it has finished for another season, and the finale has had its chance to percolate in my mind, I have decided to write a small review while traveling through each episode. So let's get to it, because there are 22 of them.

S5E1: Sympathy For the Devil..
This was one of their better episodes of the season. Granted, it had none of the power that Lazarus Rising did. The season 4 premiere, but hey, it's hard to compete with the angel twist. This episode also introduced us to Becky the superfan. As we know, Carver Edlund, a prophet, wrote every episode into a book, and she loves them. And we fans all know, that this is a jab at us. No thanks Kripke. We also met a sad, very sad Nick. Played by Mark Pellegrino. Some of you may know him from Lost as Jacob. He turned out to be Lucifer's vessel. And Lucifer got permission right at the end of the episode. And we also found out that Dean is the Arch Angel Michael's vessel. Solid effort. B+

S5E2: Good God Y'All
This one wasn't one of my faves, not until I re-watched it last night. Here we meet one of the Horsemen, War. Who drives stunning Cherry Red 60's Mustang. He made a whole town think that they were being attacked by demons, when really they were just people. We also see how Sam deals with being put back into a demon blood situation. And you can tell he's not taking it well. Ellen and Joe come back for this episode, along with good old Rufus. I gotta say, it was like slipping into your favorite blanket watching this episode, because we got equal parts classic rock, returning characters, and an awesome MOTW(monster of the week). With a decent arching storyline to go with. It was like watching a classic SN episode, but with Season 5 issues. A-

S5E3: Free to be You and Me
At the end of "Y'All" Sam decides the risk of him falling off the wagon was too great, so he and Dean decide to split for awhile. Now Dean and Castiel team up to find God's vessel. We also find out that there is such a thing as holy oil that can trap an angel. They then speak to the angel Raphael and he thinks that Lucifer, not God brought Castiel back to life. Raphael killed Castiel at the end of "Lucifer Rising." This episode is more of an expository ep, and doesn't delve into any real issue. We do see how Cas would act at a brothel though, and that was one of the funniest parts of the season. C+

S5E4: The End
If Supernatural had a greatest hits set of episodes, this would be one of them. Dean is sent five years into the future, Zachariah is trying to prove a point to get Dean to agree to being Micheal's vessel. But remember, we are all about Team Free Will here. This episode just shows how good an actor Jensen Ackles really is. He had to act with himself for more than half the episode. Here we find out just how cruel and calculating he comes when it comes to icing the Devil. Who now occupies Sam's body. Castiel is no more than a human, Chuck tells 2009 Dean to hoard toilet paper like it's gold, and 2014 Dean kills his friends with no hesitation. Whoa, that's a lot to take in. By the end of the episode, killer Dean is wiped out by Lucifer and still nice Dean has a chat with him. Lucifer tells him that he might as well say 'yes' because there is no way to get around this. Dean is then transported back to the present. He knows what he has to do, and he calls Sam. Because killer Dean hadn't spoken to Sam in five years. Go Team Free Will! A+

S5E5: Fallen Idols.
A pagan god is killing people, and Paris Hilton is the form it takes at the end of the episode. And it really is Paris Hilton. Need I say more? There is a funny House of Wax joke. F

S5E6: I Believe that Children are Our Future
Here we meet the future Anti Christ. I didn't really get the point of this episode, maybe only because we had an Apocalypse theme going on here, but that's the only reason I feel they did this one. Two bummer episodes in a row. I was starting to get worried. It was funny when the kid turned Cas into an action figure though. I kinda wanted one. C-

S5E7: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
This episode was getting better, not quite one of my favorites, but it was starting to achieve the old SN flavor that I missed. Dean plays a poker game that uses years of your life as the currency and Dean loses fifty. The actor who played old Dean was awesome! And Sam gets Herpes at the end of the episode, setting up a great gag for the next episode. B-

S5E8: Changing Channels.
This one goes right to the top of the list with "The End." Well you have to know that the trickster episodes are my favorite anyways. But this one takes the cake. Completely wiping out "Monster Movie," as my funniest SN episode. Sam and Dean get stuck in TV land, they have to play in a Japanese game show called "Nut Cracker," you figure that one out. They go through Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Knight Rider, and a formula comedy. All with their own Herpexia commercial, points to last episode, and their own theme song opening set to a 70's vibe. You want to see these snippets, look them up on Youtube, they're all over. And totally worth the search. A+

S5E9: The Real Ghostbusters.
Now I should be very offended by this episode, because everything in it, does nothing but make fun of me. A loyal and devout fan. But I can't help but laugh at myself, and find this one to be a great laughing break from the very depressing Apocalypse storyline. I know most fans weren't happy with this one, but to them I say, "Lighten up." A nice MOTW storyline with some awesome ghosty action. A

S5E10: Abandon all Hope.
And now I know why Kripke put us on a comedy tour, because the next episode was a doozer. Another episode that could easily put itself on the greatest hits list. Spoilers if you don't want to know. We start out with Dean and Sam, and Castiel meeting up with Ellen and Joe. The plot here is to kill the Devil with the colt. Crowley, a powerful crossroads demon gave them the colt back, because he doesn't want Lucifer in power. He knows Lucifer wants everything to himself and will kill all the other demons, and Crowley kinda likes what he had now. So, the team heads to a town where omens tell where Lucifer is going to raise Death. The fourth and final and most powerful Horseman. Once in the deserted town, we meet up with an old time friend, Meg, now played by some one time Bones actress. Side note: it's amazing how many Bones actors and such end up on SN. lol. She has some nice little Hellhounds with her and she's gonna use them on the group. In short, there's a chase and Joe gets wounded. Here, I was like aw crap, I know who's gonna die now. Cause they said two huge characters were gonna bite it in this ep. I already began to cry.
Just because it's so powerful, I'm going to let you watch it for yourself.

S5E11: Sam, Interrupted.
This episode looked awesome. I couldn't wait for the winter break to be over to be able to watch it. But sadly, there was just something so...off with the writing...I couldn't put my finger on it. All the characters seemed wrong, and everything was rushed at the end. But we did get to deal with Sam's anger issues, and hey, Mental Asylum episodes are always fun.
So I say, C.

S5E12: Swap Meat.
This episode wasn't what I was expecting. When I read the synopsis of the episode, I thought it was going to be Sam and Dean switching bodies. And then again, when the intro played, I thought Jared who was going to be playing the teenager and so on. I thought having Jared play the teen would have been better than what they did in the episode, but I still enjoyed it. Anyways, a teenager steals Sam's body, and Sam gets put into the teen's body. It was funny and intense at the same time. Overall, not bad. B-


S5E13: The Song Remains the Same.
Originally title, "Back to the Future II," Sam and Dean go back in time to see their parents again. I like the new title much more, in fact, it was changed so soon before the air date, that our paper listed it with the original title. lol. Anna, the angel, doesn't want the Apocalypse to happen, so she goes back in time to kill Sam and Dean's parents. The Winchester family car ride scene was one of them most memorable scenes in the season and Spoiler, Anna got a kick a$$ death scene. Another Greatest Hits ep. A-

S5E14: My Bloody Valentine.
For those Jensen Ackles fans, we love the inside joke with the title. For those of you who don't get it, go IMDB Jensen Ackles. This was the most awesomely disgusting episode ever. Just think of what Famine does to you, and a picture starts to form. The opening scene alone would leave you with your jaw in your lap. I'm not sure I can discuss what actually happens, I can't believe the sensors passed it. But it made for an amazing episode. And we also found out why Dean wasn't affected by Famine. Because he's dead inside. Ouch. And Sam fell off the wagon on demon blood, but that was because he was then able to finish off Famine. Great episode. A+

S5E15: Dead Men don't Wear Plaid.
Like the Antichrist episode, this one seemed like just something to fill the week with. Really, another zombie ep? OK, don't get me wrong, I'm all for some awesome zombie action, but come on, having Bobby kill his wife twice is not only torture for him, but for us as well. Eeh, C-

S5E16: Dark Side of the Moon.
When ambushed by hunters aware of their angelic situation, Sam and Dean are shot and killed. In Heaven Castiel urges them to search for an angel named Joshua who can help them find God. Meanwhile Zachariah is searching for them in Heaven. That's about it. Plus we meet up with Pamela and Ash. C+

S5E17: 99 Problems
Cleverly the 99th episode. I was annoyed by this episode, another profit ep? But boy was I proved wrong. This was a great episode, with a profit daughter turning out to be the Whore of Babylon. Showing just how cowed we humans can be. Plus, Dean was able to kill her, which he shouldn't have been able to do. B+

S5E18: The Point of No Return.
This was the 100th episode, but felt kind of bland. With the return of Adam and Lisa being the only thing that really shocked during the episode. And the death of Zachariah, finally! But otherwise, it was a formulaic SN ep. C+

S5E19: Hammer of the Gods.
Yay! Another trickster ep! The best thing about it though was Kali's belt. That was something you'd see in an Ed Hardy catalog. lol Plus all the other gods are pissed about the Christian Apocalypse and want to do something about it. But Loki, cough, cough, Gabriel tells them not to do anything because Lucifer would wipe the floor with them. They don't listen, Lucifer kills them all and has a showdown with Gabriel and kills him. Tear, bye-bye Gabriel. Sniff, sniff. But in a porn video, lol, Gabriel tell the boys that if they can get all four Horsemen rings, they can open a door to shove Lucifer back in. Awesome. A-

S5E20: The Devil You Know.
Crowley decides to help the brothers locate Death and Pestilence. So they decide to infiltrate a mega drug business. This business just happens to be run by Death and Pestilence's handler who is planning on releasing the Croatoan virus on the whole human population, masking it as nothing other than the H1N1 vaccine. lol. They capture him, Brady, but he refuses to give anything up, and instead sends Pestilence after the brothers. B-

S5E21: Two Minutes to Midnight.
Pestilence is out and he is bad. Well, really gross anyways. Sam and Dean find him at a local nursing home and decide to go for him. But he is hard to get to, because they're human and he decides to give them Stage 4 cancer. But Castiel is there to save the day! Barely anyways. But Pestilence says it's too late and that things are in motion that can't be stopped. The "H1N1 vaccine." In a funnier moment, Bobby lends his soul to Crowley to find Death, and Death and Dean have a chat. Dean promises to use Sam to defeat the Devil and Death gives him his ring. He also decides not to blow up Chicago cause he likes their pizza. lol. Plus, Death get the coolest opening scene, EVER! Here it is.

A+ for this episode.

S5E22: Swan Song.
If y'all thought that Abandon all Hope was painful, it was nothing compared to this episode. I have already reviewed it in whole, so I'll just give my grade. A+

Season 5 overall.
It's hard to judge this season. It had its best and its worst. But, like any book I read, it's the ending that really matters, and that is where I'm going to give this Season a solid A. Because it made up for all the faults of this season, easily.

Making a Pipe Dream come True...

Ever since I was very little, stories and books have fascinated me. And that in turn would give me dreams of my own, those of which included getting my own book published one day. With success stories like J.K Rowling and Stephanie Meyer, it's hard not to dream about your story becoming the next New York Times Bestseller. And I have written small stories since I could write. But the odds are very slim and I would be happy with just my name, under my title.
I have three books written right now. And I have to say, that I love them, my best friend Sarah likes them. LOL, I remember when she would beg me for the next part because I would always stop right there. My reasoning's were that I needed to let the story sit and marinate a little before I would continue it, and she understood that, it's just that she wanted to know what happened next NOW! LOL, and I totally know where she comes from with that.
But I am not blogging about "The Society" right now. No I am blogging about one little project that could possibly turn into something better.
A few years ago, when I had just left high school, about two weeks or so, my mom gave me an idea when I held a sheet of stickers in my hand. I wanted an art project for the summer, and I sat at my favorite seat on the couch looking out our window.
You see, the sheet of stickers in my hands, were of an alphabet, but it was different. The letters were decorated with items that corresponded with that letter. I thought out loud that it would be cool if I did my own alphabet. And mom said, "Well why don't you?" And then it hit me, a Dinosaur Alphabet Book.
Now, I knew I had challenge before me, the notes on the back of the sheet of stickers said that it took the artist two years to complete the collection she had there. I didn't really think I had the drive or the skill to do it. But once I got the first five or so done, I realized that this was EXACTLY what I wanted to be doing.
And low and behold, three-ish years later, I have a complete set of letters, complete with their own poems and letterboxes. In a month or so, maybe, just maybe less, I plan on sending it in to possibly get published. Today I finally got a draft of a Query Letter that I don't think I'll end up deleting completely. I'll probably alter it and such, but this time, I don't think the entire thing will end up in my recycle bin like it's twenty or so predecessors have. LOL.
Maybe I might put it up here for your opinions, but for now I think I'll just stick with posting the 2 out of the 3 letters I plan on sending in for my pitch.
I'm only posting 2 because I haven't been able to pick a third yet, and I might post it when I finally do.
So here they are, Q and C.

"C" Dino: Carnotaur, Letterbox: Ceratopsians
Carnotaur, the name brings fear.
Sounding mighty, strong, and full
But there is a truth you should hear.
The name means, "meat-bull."




















"Q" Dino: Quetzalcoatlus- Letterbox: The Mayan Rune
Quetzacoatlus soars amongst the mist over all he can see.
Flying with no fear amongst the fog.
For why should he?
When he is named for a god?

Last March...er...(Drive) of the Ents!...um...(Truck)

^^^^ My 1990 Ford Ranger, Troy.

After three faithful years, today I had to say goodbye to my Ford Ranger, Troy. He served me pretty well these last years getting me to and from school, to my friend's houses, to movies, Dairy Princess events...the list goes on and on. And oh yeah! How could I forget, I would blast my awesome class rock collection out the windows during the hot, dry summers, and then....when the windows were mercifully rolled up, would sing along with my favorite musicals.
I will say that I will miss the little guy, but it was time to move on. I sold it to a very eager man in need of a truck. And now I can pay off my credit card and go on my California trip, debt free! With a little left over even...heehee!
Troy, you have done well, hope you get to make another person happy.

Below: The now empty parking space in which he used to sit.




This is actually one of my favorite photos. It is a bumper sticker that I once had on my truck. It says:
"I never received my letter from Hogwarts, so I am moving to Forks to live with the Cullens."

And the Official Tissue Count is.....

8!



Yes, that's right, last night's Supernatural episode had built up a small pile of white, slobbery, tissues, that numbered up to 8. It almost would have been 7, but then I remembered that I hurled one at the TV just after the closing credits aired. lol.

(Don't worry, I got it back. lol)

I don't know where to begin about last night's episode. The whole thing from start to finish had me crying like a little girl ditched at Prom.

First off, there was Sam's goodbye to his brother Dean and Bobby. He said goodbye to Castiel as well, but we'll talk about that in a minute.
When Bobby told Sam not to quit fighting, my eyes began to tear, I mean, come on! He was going to have an all out Jedi-Mind battle with the Devil himself!
Sam then walks over to Castiel. He tells the fallen angel to take care of Bobby and Dean, and Cas then says that's not possible. Just now starting to catch on to human ways of communication, he quickly says he needs to lie. "Sure..." he tells Sam.
Sam walks away and shakes his head.
The funny parts of the episode were genuinely clever and cracked me up. But in this episode, it just felt...well, wrong to be laughing, it was way out of place. I understand the need to lighten the mood, but there is a time and a place.
Then, Sam moves to the trunk, there, several gallon jugs of demon blood sit. Sam has to drink it to be able to keep his body intact when Lucifer finally takes hold of it. He takes a deep breath and looks at Dean, and then asks him not to view this. Now they're flowing down my cheek.
Sam announces himself to the demons, and Sam and Dean are taken to meet Lucifer himself.

A bunch of things happen, that I really don't have the time nor the memory to divulge here. But let's just say that I was still crying, and that I glanced at the clock every five or so minutes to see how much time was left in the episode.

We jump to an old cemetery located in Lawrence, Kansas. *nudge-nudge* to the die hards here.
Lucifer is standing amongst the graves, when we see Adam appear. Only, he isn't Adam anymore, Sam and Dean's younger brother. He's Michael. They argue, and discuss God and war, and Lucifer's behavior. Just as they decide to get on with it, here comes Dean. He plugs in a Def Leopard song into the Impala and drives up to the two angels, in slow motion Dean glory.
Michael gets upset and yells at Dean to leave because he isn't part of the story anymore, and Dean tells him to cram it. Just as Michael gets ready to do...I don't know, something.
We hear, "Hey, a$$ butt!"
And a vile of holy fire is tossed at Michael, sending him away for a few minutes, so Dean can talk to Sam/Lucifer.
And yes, Castiel said that. So close, but not really Cas.
You didn't really get to savor his cuss word however, because Lucifer makes Castiel explode because he wanted to deal with Micheal.
This is where my parents heard the pained gasp. I had never reacted this way to a character death, ever! Not even Dean's! There, in those moments, did I realize, just how much I like that little angel.
Bobby then shoots Lucifer with the Colt, and gets his neck wrung for his trouble.
Bang! Bang! Just like that, two huge characters, gone.
I can't put into words how I felt about that. Hollow I guess. Just they way they went, and so fast, that you had no time to really process them.
Now Lucifer turns to Dean.
I think here, I'm on tissue five, and number continues to rise.
Dean doesn't do anything, as Lucifer pounds Dean into the Impala and begins to beat the crap out of him.
But all the while, Dean just keeps calling for Sam. "Don't worry Sam," he says, "I'm still here." Or, "Sammy? Is that you?" "Are you in there?"
I was choking here, and let's just say, Bravo to whoever did Dean's makeup for this scene. Awesome, and sad at that same time.
Anyways, just as Lucifer is about to deliver his death hit, he pauses, and a light is seen in Sam's eyes. He focuses on the Impala, and a bunch of memories flash through, ranging in chronological order from the first season on.
The Impala brings out Sam!!!! Heck yes!
Sam then takes the Four Horsemen's rings and opens a cage to Hell. Michael returns and does this whole destiny blah, blah, blah. And tries to pull Sam out. But Sam being the Sasquatch that he is, pulls little Adam/Michael in with him.
Dean just sits there...he thinks all is lost.
But then we see Cas!
Dean asks Cas if he is God, and Cas thanks him for the compliment and says no, God brought him back. And better than ever. He's a fully fledged angel now, and he heals Dean and Bobby.
Now Dean keeps a promise he made to Sam and goes to a house. (Other details not important.)
There we see him in the house, and camera comes out of the window onto a streetlamp. It flickers out, and it pans down to a person, and of course....it's Sam/Lucifer.
Enter closing credits.
And now you know why I launched the tissue at the TV. And why I went through 8 of them. lol.

Best episode ever Kripke! Well done!

Why I know I'll be reaching for the tissues for Supernatural's Season Finale tomorrow.

Well, it has been five years of loyal fan dedication and following, and now it is finally paying off.
Tomorrow night is Supernatural's Season Five Season Finale, and I have a few predictions and feelings about it.
It all started off with a big revelation in the Season Four Finale. The Yellow-Eyed Demon aka Azazel, aka YED found a door to Hell. From there he was able to talk to Lucifer. This happened in the year 1972, one year before he met John and Mary, Sam and Dean's parents, and eleven years before Sam's birth.
Lucifer was then able to give the YED these instructions: to free him from Hell, he must first free Lilith, and then find him a special child(cough, cough Sam.) All of this information told the very few obsessed fans several things, which I won't spend your time talking about.
Now fast forward years later: it's May 13, 2010 and now we have found out even more. To bring the Apocalypse to it's final point, we have found out that Dean is the Arc Angel Michael's Vessel, and that Sam is....gasp! Lucifer's.
So now, Sam has decided to say "Yes." to Lucifer. (For an Angel to possess a body in the show, they need permission from the host.)
Sam's plan is a crazy one, and one that doesn't seem like it's going to work. He wants to take control of his body with Lucifer still inside of him and jump back into the pit, therefore sealing the Devil himself back in Hell. .....I'm not sure what I think of this plan.
What I really wanted was for Dean to accept as well and see a big brother/angel/devil showdown. But the show has been picked up for another season, which was not in the original plan of the story, so I guess things had to be changed.
OK, onto what I think will happen.
The people involved in the show are promising a beloved character death...jeesh it's not like we haven't had enough of those this season. ie Joe, Ellen, and our ever favorite angel/trickster Gabriel.
This leaves only two characters that they could possibly gank: either Castiel or Bobby.
I have been going in my head over and over about who would be more likely to die, and I can't pick one over the other. I do have a preference though, I would happily, OK, not happily...more like begrudgingly see Bobby go instead of Cas. Bobby is old, tired, and grumpy, he is crippled, thanks to a demon possessing him in 5-01 Sympathy for the Devil, and has now had to kill his wife twice. Huh, that makes for a horrible year. If anything, I think, like Ellen and Joe, he will sacrifice himself.
I can see much more material being pulled for Cas than I can with Bobby. Plus, who doesn't love an angel that thinks in very literal terms, and speaks with such blunt honesty, that he doesn't even realize what he's saying. OK, you caught me, I'm Team Castiel all the way. lol
But here is where the worst part of the episode will come...I know, how can it possibly get any worse?
From the preview, I can see that Dean and...sob...the Impala are going to be taking a major beating. Sera Gamble, the Exec. Producer and Head Writer said that the famous Metallicar is going to play a big part in this episode, so it will be interesting to see what will become of Dean's baby.
When I said I wanted to see a showdown, I didn't mean Sam vs Dean, I meant angels and demons. Seeing Sam rip apart his brother is going to be painful...but they have been building up to it for about two and a half seasons now, and it might bring some peace to the brothers.
Sam and Dean have always had some excuse to their battles, "Oh, the Siren made me do it." Or, "Ruby isn't a bad demon, give her a chance." Anyways, they have always had some sort of excuse, but now, it's going to be full on Sam and Dean.
Anyways, I know that this is going to be gut wrenching and you can tune into my reactions to the episode on Friday...or whenever I get out of my post-Supernatural Season Five funk enough to talk about it.
Tune in for yourself if you want. Thursday, 9 o'clock pm, on The CW.
Here's the promo for Supernatural, Season Five, Episode 22: Swan Song.

EEEKKK! Looks intense!

Ipads and Supernatural...

So, it seems I have fallen into the Ipad craze, although I fully align myself with the PC's. I went a local Best Buy yesterday and found that they had a full display of Ipads. I consider myself to be a bit of a technophile and happily look at and yearn for anything new that comes out. WOW! I really want one of those things. Mainly because the book feature is so cool. I could store tons of books with 16G of memory! lol.


But as much as I would love an Ipad, I think I would prefer to wait for the HP version which is due out sometime this month, it's either going to be called the Slate or the Hurricane...whichever, I will definitely know what my sights will be set on when Christmas time comes around. The Slate is below and the Ipad is on top.


























Now, onto my all time favorite TV show. It's a cult favorite and not many people know about it. It's called Supernatural and the fifth season is "winding" down with a bang. To make a five season long story short, let's just say that the Apocalypse is on, and all the Four Horsemen are running rampant on Earth. Well last Thursday we met Death. Wow, he is probably the coolest villain on the show right now. Yes, even cooler than Lucifer....maybe because his opening scene wasn't as awesome...I don't know. But anyway, like a cool and devoted fan that I am, I must share with the...few...readers that I have, just how cool his opening scene is! For those of you who don't know the Four Horsemen are, War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. I would post pics, but none good enough really exist, so we'll just have to do with Death's video for now. Sorry, embedding has been disabled for this video, the link will have to do.

O' Death/Supernatural

and here is the whole song.

What's better to blog about, than your computer that does the acutal blogging?

I have been hesitant to post a blog. I never really had an idea, until now, about how to start out my blog posts. So, since I have acquired a new laptop, I thought a great way to start out my blog, would be to blog about my new and old laptops.



This, is my old laptop. Avery faithful, going on 4 or 5 years old HP. I myself have owned it for almost 4 years. But the time came, not only because of it's age(plus the fact that it runs XP) but because it weighs almost nine pounds(!) and the sound card is atrocious. I saw my sister buy her own new laptop after hers bit the dust, and I decided that it was time I indulged in one as well.



This, is my new Asus. I gotta say, when I was drooling over this baby on the internet, I really felt like I was cheating on my old laptop. Well I had a reason to feel this way. It came standard with Windows 7 (the heavenly chorus sounds) but it also has a TEN HOUR- yes, I'll say it again, TEN HOUR battery life. Do you know how long I can carry it around on campus? lol. Speaking of carrying around, my old laptop weighed in at a whopping 8.8 pounds. I still remember the strain on my shoulder as I drug that thing along the hallways--err, very narrow and crowded hallways-- of my high school. But now, at a dainty 5.5 pounds, almost half the weight! Lets just say, I can hold the laptop with one hand. lol

All in all, I have to say that I love my new computer. And I hope to post many new and interesting blogs with this guy.

As you can see, the size difference is very big. I think my favorite part is the difference in the thickness, it makes it much easier to hold on to. lol
